Linux Developers Support AMD's x86-64™ Technology
"We are excited to be working with AMD to provide AMD's "Hammer" family of processors to the Linux community," said Paul McNamara, VP of Products and Platforms, Red Hat, Inc. "As leaders in the Linux space, our expertise will help AMD provide a solid foundation for this technology."
"AMD's x86-64™ architecture provides the perfect platform for SuSE to pursue its enterprise strategy," said Volker Wiegand, president of SuSE Inc.
"AMD is thrilled with the prospect of leveraging Red Hat's expertise in the Linux community and is looking forward to working closely with them on the development of an x86-64 powered Linux distribution," said Richard Heye, vice president and general manager, AMD's Athlon Product Division. "Since AMD's x86-64 architecture adds 64-bit extensions to the existing x86 code base, Linux users will have the advantage and ability to continue using all of Red Hat's existing 32-bit software as they migrate to 64-bit applications."
